Biology

Azumarill is a blue, bipedal Pokémon that has an ovoid body. The lower half of its body is white with a white, bubble-like pattern above it, which helps to camouflage it in water. It has elongated, rabbit-like ears with red insides and circular eyes. When in the water, it rolls up its ears to prevent the insides from becoming wet. Its arms and feet are short with rounded ends and no discernible digits. It has a black zigzagging tail with a blue, bubble-like tip.

Azumarill has highly developed hearing that allows it to hear distances, even when it is underwater. By keeping still and listening closely, it can identity prey even in wild, fast-moving rivers. If Azumarill spots a drowning Pokémon, it will make a balloon out of air that helps them breathe. It lives in rivers and lakes, and can live in the water all day long.

In the anime

Major appearances

A female Azumarill debuted in Love, Totodile Style, under the ownership of Trixie. It is among the Pokémon she uses in her circus, and became the target of Team Rocket. It was also the love interest of both Ash's Totodile and Trixie's Golduck, though she reciprocated the feelings of only the latter.

An Azumarill appeared in Tie One On!, under the ownership of Jackson. It first got into an altercation with Ash's Pokémon over possession of an apple. Jackson then used it against Ash in the Silver Conference; it went up against Pikachu and was soon defeated by Thunder.
